# USNetCapitalInflowsHitRecord884B

U.S. net capital inflows reached a record $884 billion over the 12 months ending April 2026. The metric reflects foreign capital entering U.S. markets through private and official purchases of American assets, having nearly tripled since early 2025. The 2021 peak of around $400 billion was less than half of current levels. Private sector purchases of U.S. stocks surged to a record $763 billion in April, deepening the global "bash by day, buy by night" pattern.
